Went to Lafayette this weekend

This weekend was my Daughter's 12th Birthday! The family and I went to Lafayette, Louisiana to be with the Aunt and Uncles there and have a meal as a family to celebrate! We went to a place called Deano's Pizza, which is a terrific place to go for some original pizza!
But while there, we saw a rather shocking site that actually made my sensitive daughter cry. There was a cute little family that had two boys, a little baby, and mother and father. And in the waiting area there was a bar. Well, they walk right up to the bar and order two beers and start drinking and hanging out waiting for a table. The mother really seemed to have a I don't care vibe going. The father seemed to be the one taking care of the kids. And at one point they pick up the baby and place the car seat on the bar stool. And keep on drinking. The mom was also chewing her gum and sitting all perched up on the stool with her knees in her chest. It was a really odd site and the nine of us all were looking at eachother rather disgusted. Why? I know that people drink. But do they do it so openly in public with their children with them? This of course bothered our daughter. She was sad and wanted to go. We had to sit with her for a minute and talk to her. We do not drink alcohol. As members of our Church we follow this Word of Wisdom. We explained that others don't follow this. This is that couples choice, but it doesn't mean they are bad people and it's their choice to do these things. We choose not to. It is sad and a little concerning that two adults, if you can call two people doing that while out, with three little ones, were consuming alcohol. They drove there, and they would have to drive back. Is that concerning to anyone else?
Well, we had a great time and had some really incredible pizza. The highlight was a pizza with, Shrimp, Craw fish Tails, and shredded Crab Meat!!! IT was amazing!!! Everyone got what they wanted and we had a fun time together as a family.
We went to the mall and Kim got some really neat outfits for her Birthday. I had a chance to walk into Hot Topic. Oh the humanity of Hot Topic. I really felt sorry for the parents that were there. They had this Death Metal music blasting the whole time. I really felt sorry for everyone there. There definitely was a poor spirit there. Ugly shirts, ugly music, and just plain ugly all over the place. Only cute thing I saw was a Nintendo Hoodie. But to get anywhere near it you had to walk through ugliness. No more Hot Topic for me.
Then we went to the Aunt's house and had Cake from a good bakery there in Lafayette. Oh, and Kim got a really nice haircut from a place there in Lafayette that her Aunt Jessica recommended. It looks very nice.
The girls love going to their Aunt and Uncle's place. I really don't know why. Once the initial excitement wears off, it's rather dull. Nothing to play with, and they just kind of hang out until it's time to leave. But I guess if it makes them happy. Note to Aunts and Uncles, have things for the nieces and nephews to do when they come to visit.
